The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. another book on my top ten list of all time favorite books. Its disturbing in the best possible way. Its a series that doesn't coddle you and isn't coated in sugar like many of the recent young adult litereature(Twilight). Its gritty and grim, and will leave you worn out from an emotional roller coaster. It has a depth to it that many YA fiction authors are afraid to use. And speaking of YA Fiction, this series isn't limited to youth, it can touch those of any age. Definitely a series worth reading.

The Hunger Games- I mean... C'mon!! Great book- I admire teen and YA authors who write eloquently about relevant and interesting topics without dumbing down just because the target audience is younger. Bravo Suzanne Collins! Can't wait to see the movie.
